Description: Famously tutored by Aristotle, Alexander ruthlessly established himself as Macedonian king in the 300s BC, setting about continuing his

father's wars against the Persian Empire (for their attacks on Greek City states 150 years before.) Astride his horse Bucephalas, he embarked on his

great eastern campaigns in which he conquered most of the known world, as far as India, taking Greek language and culture with him. He never

returned, dying of a fever in Babylon at the age of 32. This is an incredible story of a brilliant military tactician who is bent on taking over the world.

Taking part in Battles and sieges galore, Alex even finds himself up against an army off 326 elephants... _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Description: When Flora Fox's parents send their daughter off to boarding school, they have no idea that the train will take her back to 1935. On the

journey Flora has a strange dream. She wakes up without her laptop or her phone, wearing a hideous uniform with ridiculous bloomers underneath.

She is a new girl at St Winifred's, where the rules are mad, the food horrible, and the hairiness of the teachers unbelievable. Her 21st century manners

will not be tolerated at strict St Win's - how will she ever survive and find her way back to her own time? But there is a special reason why Flora has

been summoned to the past. It involves the tempestuous girl who becomes her best friend, and will one day become her grandmother..."Beswitched" is

a wonderfully funny, classic story from a popular and very talented children's author. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Now you can get the inside story with Leonardo's lost notebook, flick through the pages of the "Milan Messenger" and discover dozens of the dazzling

inventions the great man dreamed up in his amazing super-brain. This work is Dead Funny, Dead Gripping, and Dead Famous.

Description: When George Vassiliou was elected President in 1988, it was a surprise to many people in the international community, both within

Cyprus and abroad. Not affiliated to any political party, despite his family's role in the creation and development of AKEL, Cyprus' left-wing movement,

Vassiliou was in many ways an outsider. But this position outside party politics proved to be an advantage, giving him a unique perspective on the

international situation and allowing him to focus on his ultimate goal: a solution to the Cyprus issue. "From the President's Office" offers a full and

comprehensive summary of the achievements of Vassiliou's time in office alongside a frank critique of their limitations. It offers a personal and unique

account of a crucial period in Cyprus' recent history by one of the leading players in Cypriot politics. It will be an invaluable resource for students of

International Relations and Conflict Resolution as well as anyone wishing to understand the politics of Cyprus today. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

teenage party, emotions running high, followed by a horrific car crash. A girl is left dead and a boy is forced to leave his home town, with a secret that

he will carry with him forever! Years later, when Summer's mother disappears one summer, she is left with her father. Obsessed with an accident from

years ago, he slowly descends into mental illness. And as he becomes more disorientated, he reveals small fragments of a secret that has been hidden

since his youth, a secret that changes everything. Summer supports her father as much as she can but eventually realises that she has to escape. She

finds refuge with her great-aunt, Stella. Feisty, fun-loving, and dying of cancer, Stella holds parts of the family secret. Slowly, things fall into place for

Summer - or at least so she thinks! This is a story of the importance of family, of the damage a lie can do, and of how nothing is ever what it seems. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
